RAVEL -- VALSES NOBLES ET SENTIMENTALES / LE TOMBEAU DE COUPERIN

 

DETROIT SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA, PAUL PARAY

NOTE; THIS DISK WAS PRESSED BY RCA. IT INCLUDES THE USUAL “A1” MARKING THAT INDICATES IT IS THE EARLIEST MATRIX. THIS IS BESIDES HAVING THE FR1 MARKING THAT ALSO MEANS THIS IS THE FIRST PRESSING AND THE BEST SOUNDING.

 

PLAYBACK; THIS DISK IS REALLY A KILLER. THE SOUND IS REALLY IMPRESSIVE. I HAD THE DETROIT SYMPHONY SPREAD ACROSS A 35 FOOT PROSCENIUM AND COULD SPOTLIGHT INDIVIDUAL MEMBERS IN THE ORCHESTRA. THE DYNAMICS ARE REALLY IMPRESSIVE. THE STRINGS ARE GREAT. THE BASS DRUMS ARE IMPRESSIVE. THE OBOE AND FLUTES ARE DELIGHTFUL. IF YOU WANT ONE OF THE TOP MERCURY PERFORMANCES, BID ON THIS ONE. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.

 

COVER: EXC+. BEAUTIFUL. ONLY NEGATIVES ARE A 1 INCH SPLIT ON THE BOTTOM SEAM ON THE RIGHT AND A PUNCH HOLE IN THE CENTER. THIS IS A DRAWBACK. THERE’S ALSO A “RHS 23” STAMP ON THE REAR. VERY LITTLE DIRT ON THE BACK TOP AND BOTTOM AROUND THE OUTLINE OF THE LP.

VINYL MARKINGS:

SIDE 1: SR 90213A – FR1  A1 P17

SIDE 2: SR 90213B - FR1  A1 P17

VINYL CONDITION: 

SIDE 1:  EXC. VINYL IS VERY CLEAN AND SHINY.

UNDER HALOGEN LIGHT I CAN SEE A hairline scratch and 2 nail marks that do not sound in band 1. Three  3 inch long light nail marks between bands 1 and 2. In Band 2, a 2 inch long hairline scratch and 6 very short nail or dirt marks. In band 3, a hairline scratch about ¾ inch long.

SIDE 2: EXC-. Vinyl is very clean and shiny.
